Pressure back on Knights against Canucks for Game 3

After getting blown out 5-0 on Sunday by the Vegas Golden Knights in a Game 1 that might best be described a laugher, the Vancouver Canucks rebounded to even their best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series with an impressive 5-2 victory on Tuesday night.

Now the pressure switches back to the heavily-favored Golden Knights for Game 3 on Thursday night in Edmonton.

The Tuesday game marked the first time in franchise history that Vegas lost in regulation to Vancouver, dropping the Golden Knights' record in the all-time matchup to 9-1-2.

Vegas dominated Game 1 in convincing fashion, and plenty of video bench shots showed Golden Knights players laughing and taunting the Canucks during the contest.
